Works just fine & dandy on my JVC-XV502SL. Good quality discs, reccomended. Also worked on Entivideo DVD player, Kenwood 5-disc changer, & various Apex models.

Video discs have pixelation problems and a few freeze-ups. Data discs occasionally hang while reading at times while accessing subdirectories.

I searched for more info on these and the K-probe test below shows the error rates for these discs are through the roof which explains the problems.

I'd recommend the Taiyo Yuden discs, close to 30 flawless burns. Microscopic error rates and the 75-100 year life span.

I'd recommend not looking solely at whether you get coasters or not. What's important is that disc will be readable in 5, 10, 30 years.

DVD works perfectly fine. No write errors, or DVD console compatability issues. A little pricy for only 2x speed, but no disc will go corrupt.

is satisfactory media.

Additional information:

Price: $2 Purchased from: futureshop canada Date purchased: November 2003 Burnt with LG GSA-4040B at 2x using firmware 3.00. Burning reliability is Good. PC reliability is Good. DVD reliability is Good. Media color is Turquoise. Media text is Maxell R4.7 dvd-r 4.7gb single sided DR47. Authoring/Burning comments:clonedvd, nero ultra 6, anydvd
CloneDVD makes great copies for playing in my Hitachi DV-P505 however these burns will not play in my PC's DVD drive only on the LG 4040B. Adversely the discs created with Nero will play on my PC's DVD rom but not on my Hitachi.
most likely an issue with the apps and not the media. Works fine on Hitachi DVP505E

This is awesome media, It works fine for me at 2x with my DVD player, i bought cheaper disks called "H20" and they have the same die, however when I burn DVD-Rs and play em in my DVD Player they skip every 4 mins or so, these dont, these are AWESOME disks, i give it 10 out of 10 - ofcorse 4x would be nice :)

Data discs does not verify OK. Some movies work on standalone players, but fails on several different DVD-ROM drives (Hitachi, Plextor). My advice is to avoid this media if you are using Nec ND-1300A.

DVD-ROM's have difficulties in finding the disc ... when it starts reading it goes really slow ... but after a few seconds it goes to normal read speed. Doesn't look too good imo.

Bought a 10 pack yesterday. Have 4 successful burns so far with the Sony DRU-500AX. Plays successfully on both PC(HP)players; the laptop, and the standalone deck(Toshiba SD 6200). A little pricey but well worth it for the time being.

Very good! Bought a 10pk., and no coasters. Too steep in price but definitely worth the try. Very reliable even when nothing else would burn right, the maxell's always came through. Great for backup copies of DVD's. Plays back on ps2, xbox, and even old dvd standalones that usually won't play anything. I noticed too many people having problems burning successfully with the sony DR500...I think that might be the issue, not the media...

10 pack in Jewel cases. This media is junk in my set-top box. Causes stuttering with every disk. Same movie burnt to a Ritek disk never stuttered.

Also works fine with standalone DVD player Pioneer DV-533. It was not tested with "Saba DVD 430 SA" as stated in my previous post. That was a mistake.

This dvd is sold as Maxell DVD-R. Bought a 10 pack at BestBuy for $1.70 after mail in rebate. A fine media. Burns fine at 2x on Pioneer A04 with 1.33 firmware. Works fine with Standalone DVD players Sony DVP-S360 and Pioneer DV-533.
